Recognizing Bobby Christine

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bobby Christine for being promoted to the rank of major general in U.S. Army National Guard.

His career began as a student at the University of Georgia and Samford Law. He also attended Georgia Military College where he was positioned as a second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers.

During the 1990s, Major General Christine continued to serve in military affairs as a lawyer for the field. His responsibilities ranged from guiding commanders on rules of engagement to prosecuting and defending military personnel at trial.

For his skills and leadership, Major General Christine also served as the senior lawyer in the Georgia National Guard, brigadier general for a JAG in the National Guard, and U.S. Attorney for Georgia's Southern and Northern Districts.

Now, he has made history as the first Reserve component officer in the Army's Judge Advocate General's Corps to achieve the status of major general. His hard work is recognized by his family, friends, others, and myself, and I look forward to witnessing his future accomplishments.
